Mucke Motorsport enjoyed their most successful Formula 3 Euroseries qualifying session of the season at the Nurburgring, although it was n🦄ot regular pace setter Sebastien Buemi who led the team's charge.

Indeed, although Buemi's third place on the grid will come as no surprise🎀 given his title aspirations, the appearance of team-mate Edoardo Piscopo on the front🌼-row was not what many had expected.

Formula 3 rookie Piscopo has no points to his name this season so far and prior to the qualifying session, had qualified no higher than 13th. Nonetheless, after a strong performance in the Formula 3 Masters at Zolder when he finished sixth, the෴ Italian is feeling more confident than ever.

"I am really happy with my second place," he said. "Since Zolder, I am really feeling comfortable in the car and it is gജetting better all the time. Now, I hope that I can score my first points on Saturday."

Buemi too was content with his starting position🔴, not least because it placed him just ahead of fifth pla🐟ce arch-rival Romain Grosjean on the the grid.

"It was൲ too cold and I had problems getting the tyres to the right temperature. It is important for me to finish ahead of Romain Grosjean in tomorrow's race, because 🥃that will allow me to make up some points on him in the overall standings."
